Cause of the Month

Answer: wears a seat belt in the front seat. Seems like *everyone* is doing it, but the 10% who aren’t are at serious risk.

You could win an easy $5,000 scholarship just by printing and posting flyers with enticing fill-in-the-blanks like the one above. For every poster you share in your community, you'll keep people safer on the road AND earn another chance at the $5,000 scholarship. Win-win!

Rules:

Unlimited. No minimum GPA or essays required. Must be 13 to 25 years old to apply. This scholarship is only open to those residing in the U.S. and Canada or those who hold citizenship in the U.S. or Canada.
